| IIRC the canonical way of doing (A & B & C) is to transform it into
| (A | B | C)* and then do a post-check that each of A, B, C appears
| exactly once.  As opposed to brute-force expansion into a DFA.

Hmmm. It sounds as if this could be extended to handle {n,m}A as well.
Just transform it into A+ (or *, depending on n) and do a post-check
that the number is correct.

In fact, this solution looks relatively easy to implement.
